I just looked at their schedule the rest of the way and they have a great shot to make the NCAAs with how favorable it is.

Penn State, Purdue, @Illinois, Northwestern, @IU (completely imploding right now), Wisconsin.

Duke will either live up to their ranking this week, or they'll take the dive just as they did earlier in the season. 3 games in 5 days, 2 on road, and the home game against the undefeated #1 team in the country.

And the great thing is that it doesn't matter. They'll be in the tournament, they'll have their shot, everything else is just numbers next to a name.

I'm already eager for the season to end to be honest. It's shocking how far off we were from being a title contender this year. Part of this is probably just hangover from losing a big game, but it's a disappointing year to be sure (barring a miracle or two in the tourney).

You can't hold Duke beating Maryland by a point at home against them but not hold Syracuse beating State by a point at home against them.

By your logic, Syracuse shouldn't be ranked where they are either.

I'm not. You originally pointed out Cuse's margin as a fault but ignored Duke's. Just pointing that out.

They shouldn't though. When a 5 loss team beats an average team, why does that mean they're better than a 3 loss team that lost to someone good?

Kansas was only a spot above Duke and lost to KSU. Nova got smacked by Creighton again and didn't look any better than the first time around, and I don't see how you retain your #5 ranking when you lose to Wyoming.

I'd wager that a one point win is always better than a 20 point loss no matter who's playing, but that's just me.

But like RF said, this debate is pointless. Duke will show their worth this week, for better or worse. Luckily it's not college football.

The polls are more about momentum and recent history than total body of work.

If Duke was in the other position and lost, but didn't drop in rankings, people would be outraged.

You're probably going to bring up the jump post-Syracuse loss in response to that, to which I'd reply they also won @ a ranked Pitt by 15 that week, and the performance against the soon to be #1 team at their house should speak for itself why it shouldn't be considered a "loss" by the voters.

Meh. I'd rather not get a shitty MSU team go on a run to get its ass kicked in by an ACC team.

This is a reference to a year that is not this year.

I didn't have a problem with them staying about even that week. It's the making huge jumps every week for beating garbage teams that seems fishy

I don't really care that much and didn't mean to make it into a whole argument, it's a moot point really. Only rankings that matter are the seeding.

Please cry moar about the game on Saturday Turtles. The win is forever and it only tastes better with salt.

If they wanted the benefit of the doubt with ACC refs, they shouldn't have sold out to the B1G. Otherwise GTFO and
